One of my favourite things to order at Thai restaurants is soups as they are always so vibrant, fresh and tasty! As it turns out they are also really easy to make at home with just a few exotic ingredients that you should be able to easily find at a local Asian grocery store. This chicken soup balances spicy, sour, salty and sweet elements with a focus on the spicy and sour provided by the chilies and lime juice. Of course this soup is finished off with plenty of fresh herbs including kaffir lime leaves and cilantro. Whether you are looking for a warming soup for cooler days of a light soup for warmer days, this soup fits the bill nicely!

For those that like it spicier, the addition of chili oil or nam prik pao is really nice. If you want to make the soup a more substantial, a little bit more like chicken noodle soup, you can add rice noodles and extra vegetables like carrots, celery or mushrooms.

Wow! This looks so good. I'm always interested to try new taste of food. I can see it has quite a number of ingredients there, but the cooking seems fairly easy. Definitely worth giving it a try.. Thanks for the recipe

Hansu: The easiest substitute for the kaffir lime leaves would probably be lime zest. I would skip the dried kaffir lime leaves and I have not used regular but I imagine that they would work. If you do end up finding some kaffir lime leaves, they keep well in the freezer so you can save them for later user for quite some time.
